The insurgents in Iraq are using this grenade against our armored vehicles and causing casulties. Not a new weapon, but seemingly effective.

I wonder how many of the throwers get hurt by their own grenades?
VS those who would wear a TNT vest?
The jihadists who are throwing the grenades are the faithful followers who have been indoctrinated.
The leaders are well enough away - safe and sound.
 
I seen several of these, all awaitng destruction at a nearby FOB by USN EOD types. Plenty of former COM-BLOC eqpt and wpns of all shapes and sizes. These have been found in numerous wpns cashes all over the place, and I am sure there is thousands upon thousands left to be found, or used against the Coalition.

The little parachute actually works, and the weapon is more effective against less armoured vehs. Crude, but effective.
